We’re not heroes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people blinked at the blunt answer. The room grew quiet, as if waiting for him to take it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t. He continued, his voice steady. \"But don’t misunderstand what we are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a small step forward on the stage, his gaze sweeping across the hall. \"We are Grand Factions. We stand at the top of this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists tightened at his sides. \"And because of that, when something threatens this world, we are the ones who should face it first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his full attention back to the man. \"Did you forget that? Or do you think ’Grand Faction’ is just a title?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man let out a short snort. \"We know what it means. But this world is vast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one finger, gesturing lightly. \"It’s just one demonic faction. You’re overestimating them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few murmurs spread through the crowd, some nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said it yourself,\" the man went on. \"We stand at the top of the world. So why should we rush into a war like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added more seriously, \"And if we fall... what will happen then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor didn’t answer right away. He simply looked at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he released his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s body stiffened. His legs buckled, and he dropped to his knees with a heavy thud, unable to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple spread across the hall. Several leaders frowned at the same time, their expressions tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this pressure...?\" someone whispered under their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes widened slightly as her body tensed. The air felt heavier, pressing against her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, almost instinctively, she turned to look at her daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, Giselle only shifted a little in her arms, her small face scrunching for a brief moment before settling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a quiet breath. \"Thank God... it didn’t affect her much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Floren narrowed his eyes, his usual smile gone. \"Sianor... what the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clark, standing beside him, also narrowed his eyes. \"So he’s reached it already... the Perfection Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel caught that and looked back at Sianor, her gaze sharpening. \"So this is the true power of the Perfection Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the faint trace of aura left in the air was enough to make her body tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the hall, the man who had been targeted struggled to stay upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs trembled, but he forced himself to stand straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sianor,\" he said through clenched teeth, \"don’t think you can make me kneel so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a slow breath, trying to steady himself, though his fists remained tightly clenched at his sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are Grand Faction leaders. How dare you look down on me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor did not respond right away. He simply watched him for a moment, then gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right,\" he said calmly. \"We are all from Grand Factions. But don’t assume that means we stand on equal ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor’s gaze sharpened as he looked straight at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was the one who brought your sect into this circle in the first place. Have you forgotten that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man frowned, a flicker of unease crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor continued, his tone even. \"If I remember correctly... your name is Hagan. You used to be the vice leader of the Crushing Axe Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan’s expression stiffened. He lifted his chin slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now I am the sect leader. After the former leader’s death, I took his place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor nodded once. \"That’s true. But do you know why your sect was recognized as a Grand Faction to begin with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was because of your previous leader,\" Sianor went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was the one who truly qualified for that position. He had the strength, the reputation, and the respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief pause followed. Sianor’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that he’s gone...\" he said, letting the words hang, \"do you really believe your sect still deserves that title?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan’s frown deepened. \"No matter what you say, I am still a Grand Faction leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor let out a quiet, dismissive snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you before,\" he said. \"You are not fit for it. In fact...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a small step forward, his presence pressing down on the room. \"I could demote your sect even now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan’s face tightened, anger flashing in his eyes. \"How dare you? Do you think you can say whatever you want just because you’ve reached the Perfection Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sianor tilted his head slightly, as if considering the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" he replied. \"Not because of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took another step closer, his voice dropping just a little. \"It’s because I’ve always had that authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan’s breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even when I was still in the Domain Realm,\" Sianor continued, \"I could have stripped your sect of its status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, letting the weight of his words settle over the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now...\" Sianor said quietly, meeting Hagan’s eyes, \"are you sure you want to make me angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan’s expression tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze flicked toward the others around him, as if weighing his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step forward and raised his hand, pointing toward the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, look at this,\" he called out, his voice louder now. \"Sianor is misusing his authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several faction leaders turned toward him, their attention shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagan drew in a breath and continued, his tone steady but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s pressuring us with his power, and now he’s implying that any faction who refuses to follow him will be removed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of unease passed through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it,\" Hagan went on, sweeping his gaze across them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re not a top-tier grand faction. Without anyone at the Perfection Realm, we’ll be the first to fall once the war begins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his hand slowly, letting his words settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So how can we accept this so easily?\" he pressed. \"Are we supposed to walk into a war knowing we’ll be the sacrifices?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief silence followed. Then Hagan spoke again, quieter this time, but no less sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we supposed to risk our entire factions... just because Solmira says so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the reaction was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More leaders hesitated. Some lowered their gaze, their earlier resolve faltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s not wrong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they really have multiple Fourth Realm experts...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’d just be sacrifices...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs spread, growing louder with each passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stage, Sianor’s brows slowly drew together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Hagan to turn the situation like this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","9cf8368e1bf0f43a9cad71c1994989f7064eba16e5b84650bc60f254eaa54317","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-520","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-518",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
